SA Background Check Employment date off 2 months Please help!!!!
I just started my background check for my SA for a BB and realized that one of my job experience is off by two months.
It was a part time job in highschool (so about 5 years ago) summer and I put April - August, but looking back at my payments I started working early June - August. So should I let HR know about the discrepancy or should I just continue with April and assume let them contact me?
Everything else is correct and honestly not sure why I put my highschool stuff (lifeguard) but it was my first job and I'm still proud of it so I guess I put it on there.
Thanks for your insight. Just slightly worried
I'd do nothing. For most places a difference of two months wouldn't even be flagged. I've heard normally there's a 90-day window to allow for situations just like these. I'd also expect there's a fairly small chance the background check extends to your high school life guarding experience - I guarantee they don't care about it.
In the remote scenario where you're asked about this, just say you put down the correct dates to the best of your knowledge and had no intent to mislead. Anyone with any common sense whatsoever would know this was an honest mistake, because it would take an incredible idiot to think exaggerating his life guarding employment dates would give him an advantage.
Okay makes sense, so for the background check when it asks for the work info should I put the correct dates down or just put April - August as I put on my resume?
Thank you for your help + sb!
Especially for a part-time job in high school, nobody cares. They'll probably not even notice it, and even if they do, you can simply contact HR and let them know.
They call and ask if you worked there. That is it. No worries.
I doubt they will check your part-time job back in high school. What they do care about is your employment history at reputable/prestigious institutions. So if you said you worked at Morgan Stanley, you better worked there. Working at a cafe doesn't really mean much to the eyes of PI. They focus on your criminal history and work history (relevant work experience).
